Seeing Gu Qingfeng speak up, Yuwen Bo quickly took Yuwen Xiong and scurried away in disgrace.
After they left, the crowd grew even more excited, swarming around him fervently and clamoring, "Emperor Gu, I wish to schedule a tribulation crossing. Please, Your Majesty, you must give me a chance."
"Yes, I beg Your Majesty for an opportunity."
"Silence!" roared the Great Luo Golden Immortal who had earlier bought the Profound Sun Jade for two million.
"What status does Emperor Gu hold? How dare you all make such a racket here?"
Faced with the pressure from a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the crowd naturally dared to be angry but not to speak out.
Even though there were over a dozen other Great Luo Golden Immortals present, upon seeing the low-grade Profound Sun Jade in his hand, they couldn't help but hesitate, fearing to damage something precious. This item was a symbol of status!
After the crowd quieted down, that Great Luo Golden Immortal approached Gu Qingfeng with a beaming smile, respectfully holding the low-grade Profound Sun Jade with both hands.
"Emperor Gu, this treasure was revealed by you, so it rightfully belongs to you."
Gu Qingfeng gave a faint smile, thinking to himself that this fellow knew how things worked.
He then took the low-grade Profound Sun Jade and, with a casual tap, imprinted the character "Gu" upon it.
He then tossed the Profound Sun Jade back.
The Great Luo Golden Immortal was overjoyed, hurriedly catching it, terrified of accidentally dropping and shattering it.
"Since you paid two million for it, this treasure is yours. In the future, if you need to cross a tribulation, you may use this treasure to seek me out."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" The man thanked him frantically, unable to contain his joy.
Afterwards, Gu Qingfeng took Gu Ling'er by the hand, their figures fading into the void as they vanished.
After he left, countless people felt a sense of loss.
"Emperor Gu! Don't go!"
"Emperor Gu!!"
The crowd beat their chests and stamped their feet, bitterly regretting that they hadn't seized the opportunity.
However, the annoyance only lasted a moment before the focus shifted.
That Great Luo Golden Immortal was instantly surrounded by the crowd.
"Fellow Daoist, I am willing to pay three million catties of immortal jade for that low-grade Profound Sun Jade in your hand."
“Three million five hundred thousand! Fellow Daoist, you must sell it to me!”
"Step aside, I offer four million!"
"I'm not selling! I won't sell it for any price!" The Great Luo Golden Immortal clutched the low-grade Profound Sun Jade tightly, looking at the crowd with nervous apprehension, afraid they might kill him for the treasure.
It was as if he wasn't holding a low-grade Profound Sun Jade, but a weapon of an Immortal King.
......
While the crowd was still in an uproar, Gu Qingfeng had long since returned to his residence with Gu Ling'er.
Once there, he plopped down on the bed, poured himself a cup of immortal wine, and took a hearty drink.
After draining the cup, he said, "Truly, fame is as burdensome to a man as fattening is to a pig. I never imagined this emperor would one day be so sought after."
"They all helped you just now. Why did you only give that one Great Luo Golden Immortal a chance to cross the tribulation?" Gu Ling'er suddenly asked.
Gu Qingfeng shot her a sidelong glance. "Do you think this emperor is running a charity? Don't you know the saying, 'Give a man a little and he'll be grateful; give him too much and he'll become your enemy'? If this emperor bestowed favors so easily, what about the next tribulation crossing?
And the one after that? The moment I failed to help them even once, they would resent me.
People often say 'big breasts, no brains,' but how come you have no brains either?"
"You!" Gu Ling'er was furious. This person was always attacking her physical shortcomings.
"Then why did you give that Great Luo Golden Immortal a chance?"
Gu Qingfeng looked at Gu Ling'er as if she were an idiot. "He spent two million immortal jade. If this emperor didn't give him a chance, who would ever do anything for me in the future? How can you even ask such a question? Are you stupid?"
Gu Ling'er flared up in anger. "You're the stupid one!"
"Well, well! Quite the temper you have."
Gu Qingfeng sprang to his feet, towering over Gu Ling'er by more than a head. His imposing stature was quite oppressive.
Gu Ling'er instantly panicked, as if recalling something unpleasant. Her pretty face flushed red, and her tone became flustered. "You... what do you think you're doing!"
"Heh heh heh... What do you think?"
"I... I was wrong, okay? I shouldn't have called you stupid... Ah!"
Gu Ling'er, like a startled fawn, hugged her chest tightly against the wall, her face completely flushed.
"If you dare try anything, I won't let you off even as a ghost!"
Gu Qingfeng didn't press closer. Instead, he shook his hand, looking disdainful. "Too bony."
The moment Gu Ling'er heard these three words, she exploded. Planting her hands on her hips, she angrily said, "Who are you calling bony! I'm just small, it's not like I have nothing!"
Gu Qingfeng couldn't be bothered to deal with her and turned to sit back down.
Gu Ling'er, however, became relentless, stomping over, fuming. "Explain yourself! Who's bony!"
"What? Don't believe me? Want to try again?"
"Try just try..." Gu Ling'er's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, but her face grew redder and redder.
Finally, in a fit of rage, she said, "Try your big head! In your dreams!"
"Tch, as if this emperor cares? Little Corpse Charm!"
At Gu Qingfeng's call, a stunning woman, both alluring and aloof, appeared beside him.
Gu Ling'er was startled. "You you you... she she she..."
"Little Corpse Charm, transform into a plus-sized version of her." Gu Qingfeng pointed at Gu Ling'er.
Little Corpse Charm looked slightly puzzled. "Master, what is 'plus'?"
"Just... bigger."
Little Corpse Charm glanced at the area in front of Gu Ling'er, a slight smile curling at the corner of her mouth. Though she said nothing, Gu Ling'er felt utterly insulted.
"As you command, Master."
Thus, Little Corpse Charm transformed, becoming an enhanced version of Gu Ling'er.
Seeing this, Gu Ling'er's mouth fell open, looking as if she had suffered a critical hit.
Gu Qingfeng also found it somewhat hard to look at. "That's not just 'plus,' that's clearly 'plus MAX'!"
"Is it?" Little Corpse Charm tilted her head in confusion, placing a long, pale finger by her red lips. "Isn't this the standard for normal people?"
"Ah!!"
Gu Ling'er collapsed, suddenly letting out a shriek, turned, and ran away.
Little Corpse Charm looked slightly regretful. "Master, I wanted to get to know this little sister better. I didn't expect her to be so thin-skinned, running off scared just like that."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head. "Is it possible that she wasn't shy, but rather, when her dream was reflected in reality, she couldn't accept it and ran away?"
“Hehehe... Then all one can say is that this little sister's dream is truly... rather impoverished.” Little Corpse Charm couldn't help but laugh, causing a moment of great upheaval.
......
Afterwards, the two of them began their arduous cultivation, which lasted through the night.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
